Pic Of The Moment: Congratulations, Hillary Clinton

[Jakes Progress]

237. So. it seems the republican and tea party

memes have worked well for you.

Try not to be so gullible. Hillary is no saint. Bernie is no savior.

They are both politicians. They both do what politicians do. Hillary's deeds are researched and broadcast to everyone. Bernie's deeds and past are still largely hidden and in the closet. That is why she can win and he can't. All of his stuff (unemployment, sex essays, wife's dealings, anti-american activism) would be fresh meat for the media mill to grind. All of Hillary's stuff is old news. Nothing either has done is as bad as any of the republicans. They both are better than any of the politicians with an r by their name.

If you really want progressive change instead of a rock star, get busy on the less shiny local and state elections. That is how the tea party took over the republican party. First back Clinton and get out the vote and give Democrats an overwhelming, punishing victory. That will rock the republicans left just like the big republican victories rocked our party right. Then, in the mid terms, primary blue dog Democrats with real progressives. Give us the kind of majority that the republicans have and something can happen. It starts with a thorough trouncing of republicans from the white house to the local school board. Get 'em all while you can.

Or just wait for a "savior" to do the work for you.
